Wellness Policy and Menus

The Food Service Department is proud to be a member of the educational team at the Carlsbad Unified School District, serving over 550,000 lunches and 180,000 breakfasts per school year. We recognize the link between student health and learning. The National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs strive to ensure that all children have access to healthy meals at school to promote learning readiness and healthy eating behaviors. Children who aren't hungry feel better, learn better, and behave better. As a partner in education, our support staff works diligently to provide nutritious food in a safe and healthy environment.

The district's health and wellness policy was developed over the past several years by a committee of district staff, parents, students, health care providers, and community members, dedicated to the improvement of student health and achievement. Nutritional guidelines of the wellness policy apply to all foods and beverages served or sold to students on campus; including ½ hour before and ½ hour after the school day. This includes, but is not limited to, organization sales, ASB sales, vending, daily rewards, and classroom celebrations. The complete wellness policy is available for review at each school site, at the district office, and on the district website.
